For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in

announced via advisory DSA 800-1.

An integer overflow with subsequent buffer overflow has been detected
in PCRE, the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library, which allows
an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Since several packages link dynamically to this library you are
advised to restart the corresponding services or programs
respectively.  The command ``apt-caches showpkg libpcre3'' will list
the corresponding packages in the Reverse Depends: section.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.4-1.1woody1.";
